Predatory/PaydayLending

As the Bible contains numerous references to our responsibility to care for the poor and the vulnerable (Isaiah 1:17, James 1:27, Galatians 2;10), we believe the state of our economy is more accurately judged by the well-being of the poor, the destitute, the deserted. Therefore, we support legislative efforts to extend justice and protection from exploitation to the poor.

Legislative Priorities

Support legislation to protect the right of local municipalities to enact ordinances stronger than state consumer protections.

Support legislation to reduce the cost of small dollar lending in Texas and limit fees charged on payday and auto title loans that increase the likelihood of a person getting caught in a cycle of debt.
